I am a bilingual English/Spanish therapist working with individuals, adolescents, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina, and a National Certified Counselor (NCC).

I earned my master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have worked in private practice, community mental health, school-based settings, and with individuals and families facing a wide range of life challenges.

My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma and PTSD, relationship and family difficulties, ADHD, life transitions, emotional regulation, parenting concerns, and men's issues. I also have extensive experience working with adolescents and couples, including individuals navigating cultural differences, major life changes, and difficult relationship patterns.

As an Argentinian-American and bilingual clinician, I also understand how culture, family expectations, immigration experiences, and different ways of communicating can influence relationships and emotional well-being.

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Congrats on taking the first step in your mental health journey! My name is Shaquana and I believe mental health is just as important as your regular doctor appointments. Bringing Mental Health Awareness to others is a passion of mine because I understand first-hand the therapy process can be scary. My ideal client is a person who is ready to embark on their wellness journey, someone who may be scared of the process, yet willing to begin. I am here to encourage individuals to open up to their truths, achieve happiness within themselves, and to feel and be great!

I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person Centered Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues providing services that span across multiple areas including self-esteem, anger/anger management, depression, anxiety, stress management, relationship issues and more.

This mental health journey can be intimidating but you don't have to take this journey alone. The stigma surrounding mental health can also make it difficult to start therapy, and I am here to let you know that in the safe space of therapy the stigma does not exist. If you are ready to start your journey or you are unsure feel free to contact me today!

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands ADHD

Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Charlotte

Searching for ADHD therapists in Charlotte starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapy for ADHD may focus on executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation strategies, or support with organization and follow-through. Medication management is different and is handled by a psychiatrist or other qualified prescriber. Some people look for one type of care, while others work with both. If you are searching for an adult ADHD therapist, a therapist for a child, or ADHD counseling for a teen, review each therapist’s listed specialties and training to see whether their experience matches your needs.

Charlotte has many mental health care options, which can make it harder to narrow your search across neighborhoods, schedules, and care formats. In-person therapy may be useful if you prefer a local office near home, work, or school, while virtual appointments can expand your options across North Carolina and make scheduling easier. ADHD can also appear alongside concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship strain, so it can help to look for therapists specializing in ADHD and any related concerns you want to address. Before booking, read therapist bios for details about approach, session structure, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Therapy in Charlotte can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for ADHD therapists in Charlotte who are accepting new patients, compare in-person and virtual availability, and enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can review therapist profiles, confirm fit through a free phone consultation when available, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
